The encyclopedia

Dorling Kindersley's e.encyclopedia science sets out to prove that using books for research and using the web are not mutually exclusive activities; in fact the two can complement each other very well. This book has a dedicated website that has been created by the publisher and Google, the search engine. Each subject covered in the book has a two-page colour spread with appropriate diagrams and photographs, and in the corner of each section there is a little 'e' bubble, containing a key phrase that will allow the reader to access further information, photo realistic 3-D models, downloadable images and 'breaking news' items, where appropriate, on-line.
